Ash walked on to the battlefield. He could hear the crowd roaring but they were insignificant to him. The only thing that mattered right now were Max and Pikachu who were looking cocky.
"This will be a six vs six battle. Substitutions are allowed. In the green box we have Max Maple and in the red we have Ash Ketchum. Max Maple shall choose his Pokémon first"
"Sceptile let's go."
The lizard appeared on the battlefield and smirked when he saw Ash. Seeing another one of his former Pokémon under the ownership of the traitors made Ash grin as he got the chance to prove him wrong too.
"Bulbasaur may the Aura guide you."
Bulbasaur came out and glared at the treacherous lizard across from him. Sceptile looked back at Bulbasaur with a look that was halfway between surprise and anger that he was now back with Ash.
"Sceptile use Bullet Seed."
"Cut through it with Razor Leaf."
Sceptile opened his mouth and shot hundreds of glowing yellow seeds at a high velocity at Bulbasaur. In response Bulbasaur released several razor-sharp leaves and fired them at the seeds. The leaves sliced the seeds in half making an explosion in the centre of the battlefield.
"Energy Ball and swallow it."
"Now you're trying to use my tactics as well. Bulbasaur quick use Sludge Seeds."
Sceptile smirked and then started forming a green orb in front of him. Bulbasaur quickly fired several seeds covered in toxic sludge at Sceptile. But he hadn't shot them quick enough and Sceptile managed to form and swallow an Energy Ball. A green aura suddenly formed around Sceptile as the effect of the Energy Ball took place. Sceptile grinned as he felt his power increase. The grin was wiped off his face when the poisoned seeds hit him. It was Bulbasaur's turn to grin as he saw that his attack had done some decent damage. But he knew this fight was far from over as the lizard still looked more than ready to continue.
"Use Leaf Blade."
"Use your vines to push yourself in the air then use Body Slam."
Sceptile blades turning a deep green and he straight at Bulbasaur. Sceptile threw his right blade forward but he only hit thin air as Bulbasaur had released his vines and pushed himself up in the air. Bulbasaur then began descending and was about to slam into Sceptile however the Hoenn starter quickly raised his other blade and struck Bulbasaur which stopped the Body Slam and sent him crashing down next to Ash. Ash winced watching this and looked worriedly at Bulbasaur who had managed to get back to his feet. Ash then realised how dumb he had been so far. He'd been using Bulbasaur as he would use his other Pokémon which would be fine except for the fact that Bulbasaur at the minute is nowhere near the same power level of them.
"X-Scissor."
Sceptile crossed his forearms and ran at Bulbasaur. He then slashed Bulbasaur with the bug move causing Bulbasaur to stagger back and temporarily collapse. Bulbasaur looked at Sceptile again and could see a smug grin on his face. The smug look angered Bulbasaur and he struggled to his feet. Bulbasaur knew there was only one way he'd be able to win this battle and he would win it no matter what it takes. Bulbasaur cried out and glowed a brilliant white that blinded everyone. When the light died down an Ivysaur now stood on the battlefield. The main change in his appearance is that its bulb on his back has changed into a pink flower bud with leaves extending from it.
"Sceptile X-Scissor again."
"Ivysaur use Vine Whip to grab his arms. Then use Sludge Bomb and then slam him into the ground."
Ivysaur shot out two vines that grabbed Sceptile's arms. Sceptile tried to struggle free but Ivysaur had a tight hold on him. Ivysaur then then raised Sceptile high in the air leaving him completely defenceless. Sceptile could see what was about to happen and struggled against Ivysaur's vines again but it was futile. Ivysaur smirked as he watched Sceptile try to break free. He then shot a torrent of poisonous sludge at the Lizard causing Sceptile to yell out in pain. Ivysaur then slammed Sceptile down into the battlefield which created a crater in the battlefield. Sceptile managed to push himself back to his feet but looked exhausted, there also appeared to be poison dripping from his mouth. Ash also noticed that Sceptile's body had lost the green glow that the power boost Energy Ball had given him which showed that he no longer had the strength to maintain that level of power. However his Overgrow ability had kicked in but it had nowhere near as much power as the Energy Ball power boost had.
"Let's end this. Ivysaur Solarbeam." Ash said calmly.
"Sceptile use Solarbeam too." Max yelled angrily.
Ivysaur gathered sunlight in the flower bulb on his back and Sceptile gathered sunlight in the seeds on his back. Both starters then fired a green beam of energy at each other. The attacks clashed in the middle of the battlefield and at first the attacks seemed even. But gradually Ivysaur's Solar Beam began pushing Sceptile's back until it finally cut through and launched the lizard into the stadium wall. Sceptile pulled himself out of the wall but he had taken too much punishment to keep going so he slumped to the ground unconscious.
"Sceptile is unable to battle green choose your next Pokémon."
Max growled in frustration and returned Sceptile. He then pulled another Pokéball off his belt.
"Gallade you're up."
"Great job Ivysaur. I'm proud of you. Now take a rest."
Ash returned Ivysaur and took a new Pokéball off his belt.
"Heliolisk may the Aura lead us to victory."
"Gallade annihilate that thing with Earthquake."
Ash sighed. He really was disappointed in how predictable Max was.
"Magnet Rise." Ash said in a bored tone.
Gallade stomped on the ground which created some tremors. But honestly the little shakes were pathetic compared to what Charizard and Paul's Torterra had created in previous rounds. Ash knew he didn't even really need to dodge the Earthquake but this would be just another way to mock Max. Max growled angrily as he saw Heliolisk on a platform of electricity. What infuriated him was the smirk Heliolisk was directing at him.
"Hey captain predictable. I thought you'd have learned from my match against the pervert that using tactics like that won't work." Ash taunted.
"Shut up Ketchum. Gallade use Psycho Cut until you knock him out of the sky." Max yelled.
"Counter with Parabolic Charge."
Gallade's blades glowed blue and he started swinging his arms which fired several psychic blades at Heliolisk. As he saw the blades headed his way the frills around Heliolisk's neck spread out and he charged electricity into them. He then fired several bolts of electricity from his frills and aimed them at the psychic blades which instantly dispelled them. The electricity then carried on and shocked Gallade forcing him to drop to his knees. Several tendrils of electricity went from Gallade back to Heliolisk which had he taken any damage so far would have healed him. Heliolisk then jumped off the platform of electricity and smirked at Gallade who had gotten back to his feet. As he watched what was happening Max's eye twitched and a frustrated growl came from him.
"Heliolisk use Thundering Darkness."
"Use Shadow Ball."
A black aura which crackled with electricity surrounded Heliolisk. Gallade worried about what Heliolisk was doing formed a black orb of energy in front of him and fired it at Heliolisk. Heliolisk watched the orb coming towards him and he merely swiped his arm at it which batted it away. Heliolisk then slammed his fist into the ground and the aura that surrounded him transferred into the ground and shot straight at Gallade. The psychic type jumped in an attempt to dodge the wave of dark electricity but the aura just shot straight off the battlefield and engulfed Gallade. Everyone heard Gallade yell out in pain and when the attack ended Gallade crashed back to the ground. Ash was surprised to see Gallade struggle to his feet but it was obvious that he was finished.
"Max return Gallade there is nothing more he can do." Ash said not wanting to cause more harm than necessary.
"No I don't believe you. Gallade is fine. Show him Gallade use Leaf Blade and Night Slash."
Ash sighed "Fine. Heliolisk use Wild Charge."
Gallade's right blade glowed green and his left turned black. He charged at Heliolisk who became surrounded in electricity and sprinting straight at Gallade. Gallade aimed both of his bladed arms at Heliolisk but sue to his tiredness he missed both attacks. Heliolisk than slammed into Gallade's gut which sent him flying through the air and he landed at Max's feet unconscious and covered in electrical burns.
"Gallade is unable to battle. Green side choose your next Pokémon."
Ash didn't feel that satisfied about beating Gallade the way he had done. He knew that was the Ralts he had met in Hoenn and he felt bad that he had to do that much damage. Ash shook the thought away and looked at Max who seemed to be getting more and more pissed off.
"Slaking it's you're turn."
"Good job Heliolisk return. Now Absol may the Aura assure our victory."
The disaster Pokémon stood proud in front of her opponent while Slaking looked ready to take a nap.
"Slaking use Focus Punch."
"Absol use Ice Beam on the battlefield then use Dark Pulse to shatter the ice."
Slaking's fist glowed white and he charged at Absol who formed a light blue orb in front of her. Absol then fired several beams of ice Beam at the battlefield which froze it. The now slippery surface caused Slaking to slip over and slide ungracefully finally crashing into the arena wall. A dark aura then surrounded Absol and she released it as a dark wave of energy. The dark energy shattered the ice which left shards of ice all over the battlefield. Ash and Absol smirked as they saw that Slaking's ability then kicked causing him to show off why his species is called the lazy Pokémon. Max was grinding his teeth in anger as he saw another one of his Pokémon being humiliated.
"Now use Razor Wind."
"Use Focus Punch again." Max yelled desperately.
The scythe on Absol's head glowed white and she started swinging her head, sending out white crescent blades of wind at Slaking. Meanwhile Slaking had stopped being lazy and ran at Absol its fist again glowing white. He was immediately stopped by the blades of wind though which were gradually pushing him back. What made it worse for Slaking was that the blades of wind were also propelling the shards of ice on the ground at him so the shards were pelting him which caused him even more pain. When Absol fired the last blade she looked at Slaking and saw that he was covered in nasty looking cuts over his body as well as some hefty bruises where the large chunks of ice had crashed into him. Slaking felt completely drained and he slumped to the ground as blood slowly oozed out of the wounds.
"Let's finish him off. Use Night Slash and don't let up your assault."
Absol charged at the defenceless Slaking as her claws and the scythe on her head turned from grey to pitch black. Slaking looked on in horror as the he saw the sharp claws and scythe now headed at him. Absol then bombarded Slaking with slashes creating terrible cuts all over his body. She finished it up by using her sickle to make a huge gash on Slaking's gut. The pain was overwhelming and it caused Slaking to black out.
"Slaking is unable to battle. Green side choose your next Pokémon."
Max wasn't gonna give up but his confidence was waning as he watched each of his Pokémon fall to Ash's Pokémon
"Quilava let's do this."
"Well done Absol. Now Gardevoir time for another traitor to fall."
The fire type came out and as soon as he spotted his opponent he quickly averted his gaze. Ash had caught sight of the look in his eyes and saw the same look that Bulbasaur had on his face days ago. It made Ash wonder if he was ashamed of his actions as Bulbasaur was. He always had been fond of the rather timid fire type and if he too had a legitimate reason for turning against him then maybe Quilava could become one of his Pokémon again.
"Why did you do it Quilava?" Ash yelled determined to get an answer.
Quilava looked to the ground guiltily. He was ashamed of what he did and to be honest he knew that his reason for betraying Ash was pathetic. But Ash deserved to know the truth.
'I-I was scared. I saw so many of the other's nod along with the traitors that I was scared of what would happen to me if I disagreed with them.'
"Not good enough." Ash replied harshly.
'I know.' Quilava said while nodding his head. He had no respect for Max but he needed some help if hoped to not be crushed by Ash.
"Quilava use Flamethrower." Max yelled.
"Use Light Screen. Then use Shadow Thunder Blast."
Quilava shot a burst of flames at Gardevoir who stood still and erected a barrier in front of her. The flames hit the barrier and were sent flying off in different directions leaving Gardevoir completely unharmed. She then formed an orb of black energy in one hand an a blue orb of energy in the other hand. Her fists then crackled with electricity and she punched both of the orbs launching them at the stunned fire type. Quilava tried to dodge but the Shadow Ball was moving way too fast meaning that it clipped his side. The damage caused by the Shadow Ball made him unable to avoid the Focus Blast which hit him head on. Quilava was knocked down by the attack but he managed to get back to his feet looking ready for battle.
"Use Flame Charge."
"Meet him head on with Thunder Punch."
Quilava became engulfed in flames and ran straight at Gardevoir who's fists crackled with electricity. She charged at Quilava and the two met in the centre of the battlefield. Gardevoir started by throwing one fist forward which was matched by Quilava's Flame Charge. However he could do nothing to avoid her other fist which slammed into his skull. The strength of the punch sent Quilava skidding along the ground until finally stopping in front of Max. Quilava shook his head and slowly pushed himself to his feet meanwhile Gardevoir floated back in front of Ash.
"Quilava hit her with Swift."
"Use Psychic to return them to sender."
A horde of stars appeared around Quilava and he fired the stars at Gardevoir. They flew at Gardevoir and Max looked on triumphantly as it appeared she couldn't do anything. To his shock he saw that they stopped inches from her. The stars then glowed blue from the psychic energy and Gardevoir shot them back at Quilava spinning several times faster than before. The fire types eyes widened in shock as he saw his own attack headed back at him. By the time he snapped out of his shock it was too late and he cried out in pain when the stars hit him. He nearly collapsed from the pain and he could feel how shaky his legs were. But he managed to stay standing although he knew he couldn't go on much longer.
"Quilava use Flare Blitz."
"Psychic Rush."
Like before Quilava's body was engulfed in flames but they were much more intense this time and he charged at Gardevoir. The speed boost from Flame Charge making him close the distance quicker than before. Meanwhile Gardevoir's body was surrounded in a blue glow and she charged at Quilava using Psychic to increase the speed and power of her attack. The attacks clashed and the power of the combined attacks raised a dust cloud which shrouded the battlefield. When the dust finally settled a triumphant Gardevoir stood over an unconscious Quilava.
"Quilava is unable to battle. Green choose your next Pokémon."
Max was getting incredibly frustrated now.
"Gliscor come one out and win this."
"Donphan crush him."
They both came out and Gliscor looked away in guilt as he saw Ash and Donphan. Ash could sense that his reasons were the same as Quilava's which was not good enough.
"Gliscor. I know you turned on me through fear but that is not a good enough reason. So now you're gonna pay." Ash said and Gliscor just nodded in response.
"Don't listen to that loser Gliscor. Use X-Scissor"
"Seed Bomb and then hit Gliscor with a Hyper Beam."
Gliscor crossed his arms in front of him and flew full speed at Donphan. The closer he got the more confident he felt as Donphan had made no attempt to attack. When Gliscor was only a couple of feet away Donphan opened his mouth revealing a glowing white orb. Multiple glowing white seeds then shot forth from the orb giving Gliscor no option but to try and push through the attack. Sadly for Gliscor he just wasn't strong enough to burst through the attack. Donphan sent one final wave of seeds which this time exploded on contact sending Gliscor crashing to the ground. Max watched on helpless as Donphan formed an orange orb in his mouth and fired a powerful orange beam from the orb. The Hyper Beam hit Gliscor which slammed him into the wall causing massive damage. He pulled himself out of the wall and was able to stay in the air although it was taking a lot of effort. Max knew that he had to try and heal some of the damage Gliscor had just taken.
"Roost."
"Max you are really making this far too easy. Use Earthquake."
Gliscor landed on the ground and rested his body which healed some of the damage caused by Donphan. But before he could get back into the air Donphan stomped on the battlefield which caused massive tremors that cracked the earth and demolished the battlefield. The intense attack caused major damage to Gliscor so it had basically made Gliscor's Roost a pointless endeavour. Gliscor got back into the air but it was obvious that he was pretty much finished. Ash was finding the decimation of Max incredibly funny but he knew that Charizard was eager to meet their old friend so he decided to finish Gliscor off.
"Let's finish this, use Stone Edge."
Max then realised the real reason Ash had used Earthquake and he could do nothing as he saw the rubble from the destroyed battlefield circle around Donphan and then be fired at Gliscor. Gliscor was to tired to do anything but watch the rocks as they crashed into him. The attack sapped the last of Gliscor strength and he plummeted to the ruined battlefield. To add insult to injury some of the rocks that had knocked Gliscor out of the sky fell on top of him and crushed him. Donphan dragged Gliscor's unconscious body from the rubble and dumped him next to Max.
"Gliscor is unable to battle. Green side choose your final Pokémon."
Max returned Gliscor and then looked at Pikachu who was stood on his shoulder.
"Come on Pikachu we can do this. If you can beat Ash's last Pokémon I'm sure you can take down the rest of his team no problem." Max said hoping he sounded confident
Pikachu nodded and jumped off Max's shoulder. He stood defiantly in front of Ash ready to prove that he was right to ditch him seven years ago.
"Pikachu you are about to enter a world of pain and by the end you will be begging me to tell him to stop him attacking you."
'I will crush whoever you send out.' Pikachu yelled back.
"Charizard it's time."
Charizard came out roaring and shooting flames in the air. The little confidence that Max and Pikachu had vanished as they looked at the now smirking Charizard. But they both quickly regained their composure.
'I've been looking forward to this day for seven years.' Charizard said darkly.
'Y-you don't frighten me you overgrown lizard.' Pikachu replied.
"Do you wanna do this on your own." Ash asked already knowing the answer.
'Yeah.'
"Okay have fun."
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt." Max instructed.
Pikachu fired a bolt of electricity at Charizard. Max was anticipating an easy win and had already started celebrating. But his jubilation soon turned to horror as he watched Charizard just swung his wing at the electric attack which simply batted the Thunderbolt away. Both Max and Pikachu were stunned at what had just happened as nobody had ever just brushed aside his Thunderbolt that easily.
"Quick Attack now."
Streaks of white appeared around Pikachu and he shot forward at an incredible speed. But sadly for him Charizard had battle much faster opponents and all he had to do to stop Pikachu was raise his foot up. Pikachu tried to push against Charizard but it was futile. Pikachu was so focussed on attacking Charizard that he didn't notice that the dragons other foot was glowing white. Charizard kicked Pikachu with a devastating Mega Kick which sent the mouse into the sky. Charizard took flight and flew up above Pikachu. His fist glowed white and it was also engulfed in flames. He punched the mouse back down to the ground and Pikachu crashed into the battlefield. Pikachu groaned in pain as he pulled himself out of the crater. He was still more than able to fight but he looked worse for wear.
"Pikachu Electro Ball."
Pikachu formed a ball of electricity on his tail and launched the ball of electricity at Charizard. The dragon yawned and simply put up his hand and caught the Electro Ball like a baseball. Charizard then threw it straight back at Pikachu who wasn't really harmed by the attack. But it was quickly demoralising the mouse who was beginning to realise just how outclassed he was. Ash was on the verge of laughing watching Charizard humiliate Pikachu this badly. But he knew Charizard wasn't done yet.
"Iron Tail."
Pikachu's tail turned metallic and he ran at Charizard. Pikachu leapt into the air at the last minute hoping to land a shot to Charizard's head and he did. He felt like this would turn it around for him but then Pikachu saw that the attack hadn't even made Charizard flinch. The dragon then grabbed Pikachu by his tail and dangled the defenceless mouse in front of him. Pikachu started panicking and used a Thunder in an attempt to escape but Charizard wasn't even bothered. What scared Pikachu was that Charizard had actually laughed at the attack.
'Ha that tickled.' Charizard said with a smirk.
Pikachu was utterly terrified now. He'd never been more afraid of anything in his life not even when he was paralyzed by Mewtwo's Psychic the other day. Pikachu was scared to think of what Charizard would do to him next. He got his answer when the fire type slammed Pikachu into the ground not once, not twice but three times. Pikachu was beginning to see that Ash had been right. Pikachu then screeched in pain as Charizard fired a point blank Flamethrower at him. Charizard released Pikachu and the mouse managed to scramble away however his body was littered in cuts, bruises and burns.
"Pikachu Volt Tackle." Max yelled with no regard to Pikachu's condition.
Pikachu became surrounded with electricity. He knew that he may be outclassed but he wouldn't go down without a fight. Ash watched as Charizard charged at Pikachu and his body became engulfed by flames. The attacks clashed and the mouse wouldn't have stood a chance if Charizard had been trying. But he'd had a different idea. Charizard's tail suddenly turned metallic and he swung it hitting Pikachu in the abdomen and it sent him flying in the air again. Charizard chased after him and grabbed him. Pikachu knew that it was over now as Charizard had only one intention now.
Charizard flew high into the sky and when he got to an altitude that he thought was appropriate he threw Pikachu towards the battlefield. The mouse rocketed towards the ground and he crashed into the ruins of the battlefield. Pikachu prayed that Charizard was done but then he saw the dragon charging a Blast Burn. Charizard grinned as he saw Pikachu realise what was about to happen and fired the immensely powerful fire attack at the completely powerless mouse. Pikachu closed his eyes as he didn't want to see the brutal attack as it hit him. The battlefield was bathed in flames and when the flames died down Charizard glided back to the ground and inspected his handiwork and to say he was delighted would be an understatement. Pikachu was in the enormous crater Charizard had created, broken, bleeding and burnt.
"Pikachu is unable to battle. Ash Ketchum wins."
Max collapsed to his knees crying at the fact that Ash had beaten him. Ash smiled seeing the distraught look on Max's face. Ash then walked to the crater Pikachu was in. He stepped into the crater and knelt next to Pikachu. The broken mouse winced as he turned his head to look at his old trainer. His vision was blurry from the pain he was feeling and the tears in his eyes. In a cold voice that Pikachu had never heard Ash use before he said six words.
"This is the cost of betrayal."
Pikachu then blacked out. Ash returned Charizard and then turned around and walked out the stadium.
"Only Tracey left now." he muttered.
Outside the stadium Ash had a huge smile on his face as the memory of a crying Max and Pikachu was still fresh. He started walking towards the clearing so he could tell the others about the battle when he was tackled by a colt-like Pokémon that had a cream-colored body. It had a short, rounded snout with large nostrils and blue eyes. It had a large, feathery red mane, long, dark blue, ridged eyebrow-like protrusions and a single cream-colored horn that curves slightly. The back of its head, as well as its neck, is covered with fluffy, light blue fur. It had blue hooves and its tail is light blue with white spots.
"Hey Keldeo. Where's Alessandra?" Ash asked
"She's right here." a voice replied.
Ash looked up and saw Alessandra. She still had Waist-long brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a blue top, with a white jacket, blue knee-long skirt, white socks and brown shoes. She also carried a blue and white bag. To her left stood her Infernape and to her right stood her Leafeon. Keldeo got off Ash and let him get to his feet. Ash closed the distance between him and Alessandra and he hugged her.
"Hey Alex what are you doing here? Are you competing?" Ash asked
"Yes I am. Actually I've just won my match and was hoping I'd run into you."
"I'm glad to see you. Hey how's Markus ."
"He's ok he wasn't feeling too good so I told him to stay at home."
Just then Alex saw Max cradling Pikachu who was in terrible shape. She walked over to Max and Pikachu and saw the horrible injuries Pikachu had sustained. She looked at Ash and shook his head as he knew what she was intending to do. She averted her gaze and took two poke balls off her belt while she looked at Pikachu.
"You don't deserve it but. I can't let a Pokémon be in that much pain. Blissy, Audio come on out. I need your help."
The healers came out and looked at the broken and bleeding mouse. Audio looked on in and felt sorry for the battered mouse. Blissy on the other hand smirked as she knew that Ash must have done this to him and the rat deserves everything that happened.
"Can you two heal Pikachu for me please?" Alex asked
The Audino nodded straight away but the Blissey looked at her with a 'why the hell should we' look. She had no desire to help a traitor and it shocked her that Alex and Audio were willing to help the rat.
"Wait a minute Alex. You do know those are two of the traitors so why the hell do you wanna help them?" Ash asked although he already knew what her response would be.
"I can't stand seeing Pokémon injured. Even if it is one of the ones who betrayed you. I'm sorry Ash but it is just my nature. Please Blissy I know you don't want to but please help him for me and Audio" Alex pleaded.
She looked at the two she considered parents and then looked to Ash. Ash sighed he knew this was a very strong belief of Alex's. He wasn't happy about it but he knew that there would be no changing her mind.
"Fine help the rat. Blissy go on heal him."
Blissy saw that Audio had started the healing process and she began helping albeit reluctantly. Suddenly 1 of Ash's poke balls popped open revealing a very pissed off Charizard. The sight of the angry dragon made the two healers back away.
'NO WAY! No fucking way is he getting off this easy.' Charizard growled.
Keldeo, Leafeon and Infernape stood between Charizard and Alessandra.
'You will not harm our trainer.' the trio said.
'I have no interest in harming Alex. I only wish to see that pathetic scum get what he deserves. You didn't see the state Ash was in after the betrayal. If you had you would feel the same way I do.' Charizard roared back.
Ash sighed. He knew this would happen. The best thing he could do now would be to return Charizard and get out of there before a fight broke out.
"Listen Alex call me later and we can meet up."
Ash returned Charizard and started walking to the clearing leaving Alex to heal Pikachu. Once Ash was out of sight Max finally found his voice.
"T-thank you for helping me and Pikachu."
"Shut up." Alex snapped. " Save you thanks for someone who would appreciate them. I don't like you, Pikachu or any of the others who betrayed Ash. You're just lucky that I can't stand seeing Pokémon in this much pain."
Max went silent not really having a response. After about ten minutes Audio and Blissy stepped away from Pikachu. The mouse's wounds had been healed and he felt as good as new. He jumped on to Max's shoulder and rubbed his cheek against Max's. Alex found the scene sickening as she knew that eight years ago Pikachu was doing the same thing with Ash. Alex returned Blissy and Audio and headed towards the Pokémon Centre. She hoped that what she had just done hadn't harmed her friendship with Ash. She knew he had been looking forward to seeing Pikachu feel some of the pain he had when he was betrayed and she'd gone and taken that from him. The thought made her feel incredibly guilty about what she'd just done.
